12 Best Blizzard Games Of All Time

Matthew Danielson — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 23:00:15 GMT

Very few game developers have had as long-lasting of an impact as Blizzard, whose best titles still have massive fanbases even decades after their release. This goes to show just how beloved Blizzard games can be, but the strongest ones prove it through addictive gameplay loops that are hard for players to put down. From massive multiplayer to vibrant competition, Blizzard has defined genres again and again.

Blizzard Entertainment has one of the wildest rides of any development studio, period. What started off as a small outfit in the early '90s in Irvine, California, Blizzard started out with humble beginnings. They mostly handled ports and other smaller titles like Rock n' Roll Racing and The Lost Vikings, before eventually crafting Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in 1994. The rest was history, and now they command a massive [typically] annual event in BlizzCon, filling the Anaheim Convention Center with thousands of fans.

Nexon is the publisher behind one of last year's smash hits, ARC Raiders, and has now partnered with another gaming industry giant, Blizzard, to revive a long-dormant, beloved franchise: StarCraft. The famed real-time strategy series last hit the scene with 2017's StarCraft: Remastered, but hasn't seen a brand-new release since StarCraft 2's Nova Covert Ops mission pack in 2016 (Heroes of the Storm is still going, if you want to count the crossover MOBA).

World Of Warcraft And Diablo 4 Didn't Need The Hype Of BlizzCon Anyway

Melissa Sarnowski — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 17:10:11 GMT

Blizzard made an unexpected announcement that BlizzCon 2025 is being canceled, and now we're left wondering what the future holds for World of Warcraft and Diablo 4, which could've benefited from the annual event. Of all the games that are active from Blizzard, it's likely that Overwatch 2 will suffer the most from this cancelation. Meanwhile, I expect World of Warcraft and Diablo 4 will be unfazed by BlizzCon missing a year.

Canceling BlizzCon 2025 Could Be The Final Nail In Overwatch 2’s Coffin

Ben Brosofsky — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 21:50:14 GMT

Overwatch 2is having a good year in some regards, but the cancelation of BlizzCon 2025 feels like another indication that it's all too little, too late. While no online game can sustain the heights of its peak popularity forever, there's no denying that the community around Overwatch 2 in 2025 is nothing like the excitement that surrounded the original Overwatch in its first year or so of release. A well-run Blizzcon event could be one way to assist in reigniting interest, and missing this particular opportunity feels even rougher than sitting it out last year.
